Reading & Analyzing Financial Statements

Many investors get information from companies they have invested in but don't have the foggiest idea how to read the financial statements. This seminar will guide you through the three basic statements and their notes, examining the information and what it means to the average investor. Time permitting, some ratio analysis will be used to further glean information on the financial wellbeing of the company.

Shares, bonds, mutual funds, trusts - what am I getting into when I invest. This seminar covers some investing basics from opening an account, choosing the type of account, getting started in choosing investments and the types of orders. Time permitting we will examine analysts reports on various investments.
